[Insane_Panda]

[Constantine]

The land of Sinhala mourned its hero Anemiputa, the mighty warrior. He was the General of the troops who were waging war in the colony of Bengal. The original Sinhalese settlements in Bengal had been attacked and wiped out by barbarian scum. But Sinhala did not forget her people in their time of need. An army was raised and Anemiputa took command. They boarded there ships for Bengal and sailed to protect the honour of an Empire. After successful campaigns and battles Bengal had been pacified and was now safe for the Empire’s Citizens now. After Anemiputa had won the glory and admiration of the entire Empire, he fall at the age of eighty, when this news reached Anuradhapura, the King himself wept. Sinhala had lost her greatest fighter. His body was ferried home in a ship painted white representing his purity. The sails were black to signify the mourning of the army, navy and Sinhala. When the black sails were sighted on the horizon off the coast of Sinhala, many common Sinhalese swarmed to the coast. His body was carried to Palace in Central Anuradhapura on a litter of gold and covered in the richest silk. He lay in the gardens of the palace for several days, entombed in a magnificent coffin encrusted numerous jewels. He was buried in front of the Palace. It was said when ever the King was in mortal danger he would rise and protect the Palace and beloved King.

Following his death several important changes where made in the Sinhalese army and navy. In a mark of respect to the fallen hero they were named the Anemiputa Decrees. The Sinhalese war academy was now made an official part of the government. Two separate schools were established within it, the land warfare school and naval combat school located on the coast. From now on all leaders of bodies of men over 50 had to have been trained at the Academy. To enter the academy you had to pass a test of reading, writing, math, and combat skills. The King hoped that a well led professional army and navy would result from these decrees.

The war drums were beating steadily. Ba rum. Ba rum.

William heeded the drum's command, so did his fellow archers. William plucked an arrow from his quiver and mounted it in his bow. The entire line raised their bows, pulled back the strings to create tension, and arced their arms and shoulders to aim.

Silence. Deafening Silence. William looked at his fellow archers, they were all concentrating on their arrows. They were all wondering if their arrows would hit their mark, they were all wondering if their arrows would leave one less Sphardian to deal with. William took a quick gander at the Sphardians. They were confuzed and tired, they stuck together and stayed in a tight formation. The perfect target for archers.

War cries and war horns in the distance. William could see the Norman line go from a steady, paced march into a battle run. The Sphardians, in all their wisdom, got in an even tighter formation, hoping to stave off the force of the Norman charge.

The war drums beat once again. Ba bum. Ba baum. Ba bum. The archers pulled their arrows break, nearly to the breaking point. BA BOOM. BA BOOM. In a single instance of harmonious action, arrows flew. The arrows flew seamlessly through the arrow, nothing could distract them from their course, nothing could save their marks.

Screams of agony from the Sphardian ranks. William wiped the sweat from his face. He would probably not be needed again for the battle. The archers all sat down and watched. Just as the arrows landed, the Norman line was upon the Sphardians. Although not many died, the remaining Sphardians were dazed and their courage wavered. Their tight cluster broke itself, and disengrated under Norman pressure.

OOC Jason (or anyone that knows), can a list be displayed as to which nation is what color on the map please? It gets a little confusing in Asia.

 

[das]

AZALE! AGREE TO THE DUEL ALREADY, IF YOU WIN MOSKOVIA WILL BECOME THE MOST AGRICULTURAL NATION IN THE WORLD AND IF YOU LOSE IT WILL REMAIN 3RD ANYWAY!

Wait, are you calling us backstabbers? What NAP or alliance did we ever agree to? We shall not entertain anymore offers, your country is ours, you had your chance.

No, we're calling you cowards.

Well, okay, if you are so afraid of a fair fight, send your brave warriors here to die for you.

[Azale]

To: Tripolye
From: Moskovia

Or you could join us peacefully, and we wont have to accidentally pillage your land...

 

[Grandmaster]

Orders later tonight.

 

[blackheart]

Jason, I resent orders realizing I forgot to make armies (and changed a few things).

 

[blackheart]

To: Vikingland
From: Normandy

Would our brothers in the north want to open up a trade route with us? ((ooc: next turn, we both already sent orders for this turn, remember it costs 3 eco lvls))

 

[Heine]

To Normany:
Becuse my nation lack the knowledge how to make large trade routes (Iron Age) we ain't able to, but may I suggest an alliance and possibilites for trade later with our brother poeple to the south-west?

 

[blackheart]

To Normany:
Becuse my nation lack the knowledge how to make large trade routes (Iron Age) we ain't able to, but may I suggest an alliance and possibilites for trade later with our brother poeple to the north-west?

OOC: check again, we're both in Iron age, and I'm in the southwest

 

[Insane_Panda]

Orders to be PMed soon if there is PM space. If there is not, then expect them posted.

 

[Heine]

OOC: check again, we're both in Iron age, and I'm in the southwest

oh, I never noticed I entered it. Anyway becuse of some pressing issues starting next turn I can't open trade atm, but in 2-3 turns I'm able to... I edited South-West, didn't read over the post...

 

[North King]

To: Sinhala
From: Calicut

Of course.

 

[blackheart]

To: Vikingland
From: Normandy

Very well, if we can't be trading partners we shall be allies.

 

[das]

From: Tripolye
To: Moskovia

Oh? Pillage my lands? That's what YOU can do, sure, as long as there's no Tripoleans in sight. You seem to be rather afraid of me, for some reason.

From: Tripolye
To: Moskovian Warriors

*reveals the contents of the Moskovian-Tripolean negotiations*

Your leader is a coward. I offered him a fair battle - if he wins, he gets all of Tripolye, if he loses, he will have to go back to Moskovia. He, however, refused, and more then once hinted that he would much rather hide behind your backs.

Would you follow such a coward? Would you fight and die for him?

I suggest that if he refuses to fight, the strongest of you will fight me, on the same conditions. We could end this war with one death, whilst your ruler intends many.

 

[Azale]

my warriors know you could cheat. besides, vad has done his fighting, he is rather old now, lol

 

[das]

Nope, I can't cheat. There's barely any point for me to cheat.

Can't you just kill him off then and get a new knyaz? Or have him abdicate for the duel and then assume power again?
